Mac Users
Two letters of reference are required. We suggest that you secure as referees scholars
competent to judge both the present research proposal and your past scholarship.
Letters of reference must be submitted online. It is your responsibility to convey information
about your proposal to your referees. After your referees have agreed to write on your behalf:
Tell your referees to expect an email from ACLS.
Make absolutely certain you have the correct email address for each referee.
Enter each referee's name and email address by clicking on the "Add Referee" link at the
bottom of this page. Please capitalize the name properly.
Once you have entered the information and clicked the "send email" button, an email will
be automatically generated with appropriate instructions to the referee.
It is not necessary to enter all referees at the same time. You can return to this screen at
any time to enter referees.
No more than two letters of reference will be accepted.
Enter only two referees. It is possible to enter additional referees, but you should do this
only if you learn that a referee is unable to complete the promised letter.
The first two letters submitted will be the letters on file in support of your
application. Once two letters have been submitted, another referee attempting to submit a
letter for you will be prevented from doing so. Be careful not to put anyone in this
situation.
SA
Log Off
PLEASE NOTE: You MUST ENTER YOUR REFEREES on the Reference Letters page BEFORE they
can log in to use the online references system. Please do not ask them to access the system until
you have done this. Once you have entered the information and clicked the "send email" button,
an email will be automatically generated with appropriate instructions to the referee.

Eligibility
If you learn that your referee did not receive an email with instructions, enter the information
again using the "Add Referee" link below to have the email sent again. (You will not be able to
enter the information again, however, if the referee has begun your letter.)
For your information, the online reference process requests referees to comment on the applicant
as a scholar and professional and on the specific proposal to ACLS. Referees are asked to evaluate
the quality, significance, and feasibility of the applicant's proposal and the applicant's academic
achievement and/or promise.
Letters of reference are due by November 14, 2011. It is your responsibility to check
online to see whether letters have been submitted. The system will continue to accept
letters after the deadline and will add them to your application at the earliest possible time, though
we cannot guarantee that they will accompany your application through our entire review process.
If your referee cannot use an online system, see FAQs.
You may wish to print this page so that you have this information after the application deadline.
This page will not be included as part of your view/print application.

1) PROPOSAL:
In preparing this material, please keep in mind that the selection committee is a multidisciplinary panel, composed of scholars from a broad range of fields and area specialties in
the humanities and social sciences relating to Eastern Europe.
M
PL
Contact Information
E
Eligibility
Content: Your project description should contain (1) a statement of the questions to
be examined and major hypotheses to be tested, citing the relevant literature; (2) an
explanation of the importance of the proposed research, (a) to theoretical and
methodological issues in your discipline(s) and (b) to scholarship on Eastern Europe;
(3) an evaluation of the availability and quality of source material and data, with an
assessment of your linguistic competence to use these materials; and (4) a summary
of your proposed work schedule and a review of the progress already made on the
project and previous support received for it. In addition, if your project is part of a
collaborative undertaking, it is essential to explain the relationship between your
contribution and that of your collaborator(s).
The proposal must not exceed five double-spaced pages in Times New
Roman 11-point font. You may, however, include up to an additional 2 pages
of images, musical scores, or other similar supporting non-text materials.
2) BIBLIOGRAPHY:
SA
The bibliography should provide an overview of the publications you regard as central to
advancing your project; you may wish to provide annotation to accompany certain items. Be
sure to give full bibliographic references.
The bibliography must not exceed two pages, and should be double-spaced
between entries.
3) PUBLICATIONS LIST:
This should be a list of your representative publications and should include titles, dates of
publication, names of publishers or journals (indicate which were refereed), and numbers of
pages. List titles in the language of original publication with an English translation in
parentheses.
Your publications list must not exceed two pages, and may be in whatever
format you normally keep it.
Documents must adhere to the page limits and formatting requirements to be
reviewed.
4) DOCUMENT SPECIFICATIONS:
ACLS Online Fellowship Application
E
All three items must be uploaded as one continuous document.
Margins must be at least one inch on all sides.
Use Times New Roman 11-point font for all uploaded documents.
There is a 3 MB limit on the size of your upload. This means that the total size of the
upload, including any graphics or supplementary materials, cannot exceed 3 MB.
Your application will be converted to Portable Document Format (.pdf). Keep
formatting simple to avoid problems in the converted document.
If your proposal includes foreign characters, please view it after uploading to be sure
these characters convert properly. If not, you may have to convert your document to
.pdf and upload again to resolve formatting problems.
Use the header/footer function to number pages. (Do not type the numbers directly
into each page of your document text.) You may number pages consecutively
throughout the entire document, or you may number the different sections separately.
(Page numbers are most helpful on the proposal, so you may omit them on the other
items if you wish.)
If you have difficulty with your upload, consult the FAQs/technical support before
contacting OFA HELP.
5) INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING YOUR DOCUMENTS:
M
PL
Your items should be collated in this order—proposal, bibliography, publication list—and
submitted as one file.
Files will be accepted in the following formats ONLY:
Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx), WordPerfect Version 5. or later (.wpd), Text only (.txt), or
Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf). Your file MUST include the appropriate
extension (e.g., ".doc"); if you are on a Mac, you will need to enter the extension as part of
the file name.
The button below will allow you to upload your document. You will be able to browse your
computer system to select the file to be uploaded. When you have completed the upload,
your file name should appear under "FILE UPLOAD STATUS" below as a blue link. You can
confirm that the file has uploaded successfully by clicking on the blue link and viewing your
file. Sometimes the process takes a little time: if your file name does not appear as a blue
link, refresh the screen using the refresh button in your browser tool bar, or simply leave this
screen and come back to it.
As long as your application is still "In Process," you can upload revised versions of your
document by simply repeating the upload process and selecting the new/revised version.
(This may have the same file name or a new file name.) When you click on "Upload File" the
revised version will be recorded and the old version erased.
After uploading, please check your file to be sure it has uploaded successfully.
